Why shouldn't I buy one of these?

We're all just trying to help feersty, and i think you know that. I would have to agree that waiting until you realize exactly how much you're bringing to the table before committing to a car purchase would be the much smarter idea. i wish i did that before i decided to purchase the teg. I could've inherited the civic (which still runs like a gem) and not have had a car payment, but chose not to :hammer:. I know you're anxious about buying a car and getting into the 'scene' but some of these og's have also waited a little while and working for a while before deciding to purchase a nice car (ex: maeng - year w/sti, mike - years w/s2k, and rj - years w/miata and track teg -- well after about 70 other cars he went through). It's kinda different if you're looking for a track car - i'd look to spend as little money as possible for a good one -- get's expensive with all the mods / maintenance.

I, too, was anxious about buying a 'nice' car and now a 'nice' bike, but doing the numbers with real figures....kinda puts things in perspective, i need to live like i was in college ($150/mo for food and conservative with everything else) before i can make decision to buy a 'nice' car. Be patient with your car purchase, and like it was said before you don't need a "capable" (i put this in quotes b/c any car will do) to be an enthusiast. Keep coming out to the events man! We're all friends here and i'm sure that your car purchase will be one that you'll be happy with, just take your time . Evaluate all your options and keep looking around like you have and read about the reviews. I say be patient and find a car you like - go for test drives too. I know i never really considered the 350z until i drove it....now it's on 'the list' as a possible purchase in the next few years.
